Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cinema Guide at 4.5 against FST Cinemas's 4.0. Cinema Guide also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). FST Cinemas's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
